Why You Feel On Edge: Nervous System Dysregulation Explained (and How to Fix It Naturally)
Hello! How are you? How is your week going? I hope it is running smoothly for you. xx
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly “on edge,” unable to relax, always anticipating the next thing, and never quite able to switch off? If so, you’re not alone. Many people live in a state of nervous system dysregulation without even realising it. But the good news is, there are natural ways to bring your body back into balance, and that’s exactly what we’re exploring in my latest episode of the Somatic Movement & Mindset Podcast.
Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation
Our nervous system is designed to help us respond to stress, but when it becomes stuck in “fight, flight, or freeze” mode, it starts working against us. This dysregulation can show up in many ways, anxiety, tension, poor sleep, digestive issues, chronic pain, or just that constant feeling of being “wired but tired.”
In this episode, I unpack why this happens and how you can retrain your nervous system naturally through somatic movement, breathwork, and mindful awareness, so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more resilient in everyday life.

How this episode connects to my TEDx Talk
If you’ve watched my TEDx Talk, “Pandiculation: The Natural Solution to Chronic Pain and Discomfort,” you’ll know how powerful our body’s internal reset mechanisms can be. Pandiculation is one of the most natural and effective ways to release chronic muscular tension, and it’s directly linked to nervous system regulation.
When we use somatic movement and pandiculation, we’re not just addressing physical tension; we are signalling safety to our nervous system, creating lasting change from the inside out.
